Ecoinvent Database - fully integrated in SimaPro

The ecoinvent database contains up-to-date and consistent life cycle inventory data for 2500+ processes. It is the only database that consistently includes uncertainty data. Ecoinvent is fully integrated in SimaPro, which has all the features to get the most out of this unique database.

The ecoinvent database is included in all new professional SimaPro licenses. Other SimaPro users can purchase a license with SimaPro, with no surcharge for conversion.

Advantages of ecoinvent with SimaPro

An ecoinvent database license purchased with SimaPro 7 will give you:

  • The ecoinvent database in SimaPro format (English version, v2). The ecoinvent database is fully integrated in SimaPro, no conversion is needed! All impact assessment methods have been adapted to be compatible with the inventory flows in ecoinvent.
  • Unit and system processes. PRé has taken great care to integrate both the unit processes ("raw" data) and the calculated results (systems). The systems can be used for quick screenings, the unit processes for detailed analyses which go at a surprisingly high calculation speed.
  • SimaPro can analyze the uncertainty data in the ecoinvent unit processes using advanced Monte Carlo analysis features (not in SimaPro Compact, Faculty and Classroom). With SimaPro, you can analyze the uncertainty in the full process tree or compare 2 processes.
  • The SimaPro Analyst, Developer and PhD can specify substances per subcompartment. Furthermore, you have the option to exclude infrastructure processes from the calculations (Developer).
  • Full and unlimited access to the ecoinvent website, including the inventory data in the EcoSpold XML format. Ecospold XML import is supported in the SimaPro Developer version.
  • The ecoinvent CD-ROM with all final reports, including detailed descriptions of all ecoinvent datasets.
  • Standard ecoinvent data support by e-mail or fax from the Ecoinvent Centre, and access to the FAQ pages on the Ecoinvent web site.
  • Support for the ecoinvent database in SimaPro format, including updates, is covered under the SimaPro service contract.

If you order a new professional SimaPro 7 license, you automatically obtain an ecoinvent license. All above items are included with the license at no additional cost!

Ecoinvent data

The ecoinvent database covers more than 2500 processes in the following sectors, mostly in Switzerland and Western-Europe:
